I'll make the changes. I'll start with the two below, and if there's
anything else that you think you would like changed, _please_ let me
know.

Subject: RE: Status: JavaMail API implementation now at Alpha quality
-1 for this patch because
a) there is a dependency on geronimo-common that is inappropriate
for a standalone spec module
b) a change was made to the impl of URLName.equals() that makes it
behave differently to the RI and which I explicitly asked Alex
not to make
These may seem minor but they are symptomatic of a coding approach that
may lead to other deviations and I think the entire patch should be
reviewed in detail. If someone steps up to do that then it may be
appropriate to commit this to a separate branch until done.
